ACD
Systems International Inc. today announced the availability of Canvas
14.1 and Canvas
14.1 +GIS technical illustration software products for easy yet
powerful creation, annotation and sharing of technical data. They are
the only products on the market that give technical graphic designers,
engineers, illustrators and other professionals the ability to work
intuitively with both vector and raster images in the same document,
using the same tools.

Canvas 14 and Canvas 14 +GIS provide the easiest and most effective way
to transform technical CAD and 2D data into creative illustrations that
can be used throughout the enterprise. With Canvas 14, engineers and
designers can draw and edit precise documents that can be quickly
annotated and shared. The additional Canvas +GIS module allows for the
use of geo-data within illustrations. Both products feature capabilities
found in Adobe Creative Suite products such as Photoshop, Illustrator,
InDesign and Acrobat, but at a fraction of the cost. Companies using
Canvas include Boeing, Caterpillar, GM, Chevron, Lockheed Martin and
NASA.
